I was hoping for a geek!girl. It could have happened, despite the published casting call for a guy. TPTB changed the ethicity of the head Atlantis scientist in order to hire David Hewlett.
While I adore McKay, it doesn't still niggle at me they changed from a black Canadian to a white one to get him there. Salt in the wound was changing the black Ford in for the "wild warrior" stereotype with Ronon.
